IPCPR 2014: The Show in Pictures – House of Emilio, Iconic, Kings and Kristoff

This year, we decided to give you a tour of the show through the pictures we took while we were there. Some are of new items, and some are just things we thought were interesting. These manufacturers were not sharing booth space, we just combined them into a single slideshow due to the number of pictures we had from each.

Blind Cigar Review: Rodrigo | Boutique Blend G4

"The cigar with its ever changing flavor profile provided a complexity that I have not seen in a while other than in Ta'ts and LP's. I would recommend this and plan on getting a few for my humidor to age." -Sandeep (Djangos)

Blind Cigar Review: Nomad | Esteli Lot 8613 Toro

"As a whole, this cigar was a very pleasant wine and crackers smoke. The initial cocoa and finish of the leather notes was very enjoyable. Most things about this cigar had high end status about them. The flavor profile was quite enjoyable and the light and go and no worry was excellent. Great job to the cigar company that put this out. Grab some if you can because you will enjoy." -Steve (ThaGreatWazoo)

Blind Cigar Review: Nomad | C-276 Toro Grande

"Normally, "one dimensional" would be used as a way to complain about a cigar, but in this case it is not. The one dimension presented was very good. Flavors were solid and construction was great. I'd be interested in picking some more of these up for sure." -Dave (mdwest)

"I enjoyed this cigar. The cold aroma of maple leaves was unique, and the mix of caramel and cream and leather and maple and pepper and baking spices and sweetness was quite enjoyable, and changed frequently enough to keep me interested. Recommended." -Derek (StogieNinja)

Blind Cigar Review: Draig | Cayuquero Corona

"If it weren't for the draw, this would have been an enjoyable cigar. As it was, I didn't smoke it nearly as far down as I would prefer for a premium cigar, particularly for a review...it was just too much work, unfortunately. Maybe the next one will be better!" -Jason H. (Jokey Smurf)

Blind Cigar Review: 1502 | Ruby Corona

The cigar had excellent flavor until the wrapper unraveled. This caused most of the flavor to leave for the last third. Prior to this issue, the flavors were very enjoyable, with enough transitions to keep me interested. I'm looking forward to finding out what this cigar is as it is definitely worth at least a 5 pack purchase. I think it has lots of aging potential as well." -Dan (Danfish)
